Few things i have learned in past...
just like that summarizing.. this is life time experience and telling you this is serious. follow it and success will fall upon you though i am still waiting as success is journey not destination.

1. dont be hasty or desperate for any thing. Chillax type keep working and you'll accomplish what you wish.
2. Always enjoy what you do. Dont think it as a struggle or pain. Just enjoy it.
3. Give your best and expect nothing.
4. Honesty is best policy. Life is sinusoidal so chill madi. Just keep working.
5. Dont let other expectation heap/burden upon you. That is when one start loosing and stop enjoying.

Thanks
